Inspired by the artworks of Audubon, Merian, and Gould, Delaware artist Allison Cosmos often paints colorful coastal birds in a loose Chinoiserie style that feels both fresh and timeless. In this lovely coastal image, Allison captures a Tricolored Heron, Reddish Heron, and Purple Gallinule perched on a sand dune with soft white sky behind. Tiny dragonflies add a magical note to the serene seaside scene.
